I don't use drugs, and if you are implying weed then you are out of your mind. I think weed should stay illegal as should all psychedelics. Don't put me in a box, I just despise alcohol because most other dangerously evil drugs aren't tolerated. Seeing people drink alcohol is like seeing someone on a crack pipe. Its wrong and disgusting and normal people are enranged at this intolerable behavior. Forced rehab for all alchys, druggies, and the like.

Worst is all the nonsense that infiltrates society because of alcohol. How many people claiming rape or raping or whatever or bar fights or swerving jnto the road killing innocent people. Its a big mess and I am sick of this. No more. If you drink I don't care if you get water boarded, I will walk right past you, no sympathy except for those who seek help.

Google wins.They have been on the frontier of ai for the last what 10-20 years (up until chatgpt)? You have the established company with tons of traininv resources at tgeir disposal from all their services and being the biggest search indexer, and also having the top minds in AI and computing in general.

Gemini wins and I said this since the beginning. Google wins in general. I never understood why they have not been the highest market cap companh for the last 10 years. And I despise google but its obvious.

I don't like AI, but it's very enjoyable for me to see my predictions on the success of gemini come to fruition.

I only use gemini, and while I don't use it for actually writing up code, I use it to help me troibleshoot my logic and help find bugs. Its easily the best model I have tried. And yes I am talking about 3.1 pro.

Also I have found gemini the only model to be the least likely to douse me in flattery, and will follow my pre built instructions to never output anything unless it can be directly sourced, pretty well. Chatgpt i tried for a bit and it was by far the worst thing I have ever used. I can understand why people develop psychosis when prompting chatgpt because it is disgustingly scyophantic to the point I was grossed out and felt like I just got done with some other type of self gratification.

Anyway, death to AI. All those who use, create, facilitate, or even just sit by and do nothing in the face of AI will perish in Hell.

By the wealthy. The average citizen or non citizen (who made up majority or close to at various points) was not drinking 14%. Its laughable you would believe fhat just because rhey found it. They also found some gold face masks, i guess they must have all been wearing gold masks then.

Regardless your prior claim about one beer not causing brain damage is categorically false. While I was wrong about mechanism, its true, even drinking in moderation causes brain damage.

I get your point, but your missing mine. "He killed over a hundred people and also raped women and children" "Actually he didn't rape women, he only raped children." "okay he didn't rape women but anybody who supports him should die" "woah buddy why do you think i should die"

obviously not to that level, but we are ralking about a serial killer of hundreds of thousands if not millions and untold amounts of rape and serious injury/accidents. i was wrong on one account but lets keep on the subject.

landdate··on California farmers are struggling to sell grapes as demand for wine drops
Okay, but you missed my larger point which was the deaths and violence and rape and crime caused by alcohol. If you alchys want to drink it should be far away from good law respecting citizens and you cant call the police if you get hurt while drinking or utilize the hralth care system.

Thanks will listen to that on way to work.

All these poisonous foods should be banned yes. The biggest killler in the US is obesity and we are here talking about individual rights. 1/3 of people aee obese, 2/3 are overweight, I am all for individual liberties but when you have this deadly of an epidiemic I become a lot more practical than idealistic.

Rest of your comment is asinine and I won't bother to consider.

Okay whatever, but the point is ut decreases oxygen to the brain and causes permanent brain damage.

Never heard of them. But if they are made in America I will keep them in my mind when/if I buy a new car.
landdate··on Tesla takes on $30B in credit as it approaches unprofitability
I drive a shitbox but if I was gonna buy a new car and I had the money to buy one it would probably be tesla considering their realistically the only American car companies that make their cars in the US. Rooting for them to do well, because I live in the midwest and have seen what happens when these trash can companies overshore manufacturing.

Seeing it happen now too with college jobs is funny, because all those same people making fun of your community for complaining about lack of jobs after the factory they built their city around leaves, now are complainjng abiut the same thing. H1B yourself. Love those Indians. Anyway, everyone loses no class solidarity, the poors fighting amongst themselves like animals.

Good. Let this nasty industry and its parasites die.
landdate··on California farmers are struggling to sell grapes as demand for wine drops
No they don't. unless you think health care should be singularly the responsibility of the individual and we have no responsibility for caring for the sick or seriously injured even if they have lack the financial resources to cover expenses.

Alcohol is engrained because it was safe to drink because of the process of fermentation. However, it had much lower alcohol content and certaknly the hard liquors we know now were almost never at all drunk.

Your comparing 1-2% alcohol consumed because the regular drinking water was not accessible and unsafe to 7%+ alcohol consumed for recreation. Disengenuous.

Classic "personal responsibility" argument used to subjegate the masses.

Individuals have personal responsibility, but the behaviour of a group of humans regresses towards the mean as it gets larger.

You can't assume someone will get fat just because you offer highly addictive processwd food, but you can assume the population as a whlle will.

LLM's are trained on human code though. Converting the code to its ast tree and training ai on that would be trivial of course, but I imagine there would be information that explains why something exists that would be missed.

So poisoned by tribalism you can't imagine anyone could be different than the caricature you see on tv.

Allah Akbar means God is good. Muslims pray 5 times a day. You want me to hate Muslims? Who am I to hate any of God's children. I don't hate anyone not Muslims nor Jews, nor Hindus nor satanists nor atheists. God is bigger than hate. God is love. I am sorry you don't knowthat and I hope you find out becauae you are missing something wonderful friend. Sorry for previous commment I was angry, mostly misdirected from sadness not ur fault im just not having a good time rn.

You mean the Abrahamic God who is worshipped by the three largest religions in the world across every continent? Yeah the majority have come to a conensus already, the details are what we are arguing over. I guess you didn't get the memo.

Christians, Muslims, and Jews. Almost all the most important people in history, who built the world and defined the culture you were breed into, they were all wrong and you are right.

And God is unknowable. There is a reason why there are a bunch of different religions and spiritual practices. If we could know God perfectly we would be God.

landdate··on Tech Needs Humanists More
You are an ignorant moron. Not only do I love Muslims but I think the average Muslim is more Godly than the average Christian.

Its not about what religion you are part of, but if you love God. So quit being a bigoted asshole.

And Allah Akbar literally means God is Good you jerk. How could I be mad at that? Such a perverted soul. How could this world be so rotten and tribalistic?

landdate··on Tech Needs Humanists More
I believe in God, but I am going to pretend I didn't to answer this question.

What is the meaning and purpose my life? To help humanity and enrich the lives of current and future generations? I would think so.

How can humanity then survive as a species and what does it mean to be human if everything we do is usurped by a more competent species?

Even if this spexies is benevolent, they wiuld be put in ultimate control as to achieve rhe aformentioned goal it wojld be most logical. In essence then we our entire existence and agency become just the whims of pleasures as nothing we do would be of any impact.

A benevolent agi means we no longer have struggle.

Now, I don't need to mention the opposite.

And then a previous commentor asked me why God lets evil and sufferring occur. Funny how some people think.

landdate··on AI was supposed to hit new grads hard. So far, unemployment data says otherwise
> the researchers looked at year-over-year and seasonal trends going back to 2022 (which is both the year employment returned to pre-pandemic levels and the year ChatGPT was released

The timeline since 2016 is like one bad thing after another.

- trump

- covid

- ai

- trump again

I envy the earlier generations who got to reach adulthood before our society began collapsing into hell, and I pity the children who grew up in the hell of my teenage years. This world is rotten and I will fight until my last breathe to save it, whether it is in vain or not I refuse to accept the common sentiment of selfishness out of fear that has taken hold of public sentiment.

"I still need food to eat, water to drink, a roof over my head, etc."

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? - Matthew 6:25

landdate··on AI was supposed to hit new grads hard. So far, unemployment data says otherwise
Well the economy is doing well and they are building the infrastructure around ai so of course there hasn't been mass unemployment.

I predict it will take 5-10 years before there is a drastic effect on the general job market. They still need to build the systems and audit what employees are expendable.

landdate··on 'That's so AI ' What gen Alpha's biggest insult tells us
> account management is almost worse than something to install

True. Even as an adult it's tiring having to keep all my accounts sorted, and that's with a password manager.

There are a few websites that I can of off the top of my head that don't need an account or you can choose to log in through google/github: https://codepen.io, https://editor.p5js.org if that's of any use.

On a side note, in school I loved repl.it, supported ton of languages and worked despite all the blocks and filters on the school devices. Unfortunately, a few years ago they pivoted to I have no idea what, something to do with AI, but it's abysmal and such a loss. And I just found out glitch.com is also no longer a thing anymore either.

yes i would agree. nothing wrong with either one of those things, but if we are talking about open source you can't be mad the coder sucks at designing.
